Fusion of sophisticated design and craftsmanship
This red seal book is a special gem, handcrafted one by one by Kyoto-based paste box artisans.
Hand-dyed Japanese paper is used on the outside. The slightly different look of each piece of paper creates a special feeling for each book.
Enriching the pleasure of visiting shrines and temples
The red seal book is a large size (B6), measuring 18 cm (H) x 12 cm (W). It is an easy-to-use size that allows you to neatly affix a leftover red seal.
It is bellows-style and has 48 pages in total (24 pages on each side).
A single long sheet of paper is folded like an accordion, so that multiple red seals can be seen at a glance when unfolded.
It can be used not only as a red seal book, but also as a mini notebook, a scrack book, a travel notebook, a recipe notebook, a collection of artworks, and other versatile uses depending on your ideas.
Each time you hold it in your hand, your heart will be in order, and your time spent visiting shrines and temples will be richer.
Details that highlight the charm of hand-dyed
The hand-dyed Japanese paper used for this red seal book is original to Fuwa Market. Each one is hand-dyed by Yuzen Washi dyeing craftsmen at a specialized factory in Kyoto.
The deep colors and unique texture achieved through traditional techniques are attractive. Looking at the pattern up close, you can see the delicate overlapping of colors that is unique to hand-dyed fabrics.
The subtle shading and bleeding bring out the texture that can only be achieved by hand, creating a unique beauty.
By carefully dyeing each block, we create a depth and warmth that cannot be expressed through a simple print.
The attention to detail has been paid to bring out the beauty of Japanese culture. Every time you use it, you can feel the meaning of Japanese beautiful craftsmanship and traditional patterns.
Please experience the charm of this texture and warmth created by the handiwork of artisans.
Wishes and prayers contained in traditional patterns

Stylish checkerboard pattern, traditional beauty
If you take turns packing squares of different colors together, they will appear to move gently.
The checkered pattern looks as if it has been breathed into life.
When Kabuki actor Sanogawa Ichimatsu appeared on stage looking stylish and glamorous in a white and navy blue outfit, everyone, especially the women, rushed to wear it.
It became so popular that what had previously been called cobblestone pattern was renamed checkerboard pattern.
Even today, it has become a part of the green and black haori design worn by the protagonist in the manga "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba," and it has remained popular with many people of all ages and across the ages.
